Tom: E
E A E A E A E A
[Verse 1]
E B D B
You sit still inside a well where you wish all will be well
E B D B
You're silently dreaming what no tongue can ever tell
E A E A
This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
E A E A
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes
E B D B
I once thought fame and romance could drag me out of hell
E B D B
But they have only chained me here, in a lifelike prison cell
[Bridge]
E G#m A
They are many, we are few
E G#m A
There's not much that we can do
[Chorus]
E A
In a well of no hoping
E A
There's no point in hoping
E A E A
In a well of no hoping, there's no hope, there's no point in hoping
[Instrumental]
E B D B E B D B
[Verse 2]
E A E A
This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
E A E A
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes
E B D B
They promised me paradise if I fell under their spell
E B D B
Glazed-eyed passive citizens suit them very well
E A E A
This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
E A E A
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes
E B D B
Could these sleepers ever wake, or have we come too late?
E B D B
They have done such a good job on them down there in the well.
[Bridge]
E G#m A
They are many, we are few (I see no way up, I see no way out)
E G#m A
There's not much that we can do (I see no way up, I see no way out)
[Chorus]
E A
In a well of no hoping
E A
There's no point in hoping
E A E A
In a well of no hoping, there's no hope, there's no point in hoping
E A E A
In a well of no hoping, there's no hope, there's no point in hoping
